Lively can play any video files as system wallpaper.

Windows N/KN/Education systems require installation of additional codecs for video playback.

Video Player Setup

Currently lively supports these video players:

Note: Microsoft Store version of the software only supports the default Mpv player, additional plugin cannot be installed.

Mpv

This is the default and recommended player; uses the official mpv player build.

Custom configuration file can be used, create mpv.conf file in:

<Lively install location>\plugins\mpv\portable_config\

or application data folder:

Installer: C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Lively Wallpaper\Mpv\portable_config\

Windows store: %LocalAppData%\Packages\12030rocksdanister.LivelyWallpaper_97hta09mmv6hy\LocalCache\Local\Lively Wallpaper\Mpv\portable_config\

and follow the manual for mpv commands.

It is also possible to implement Lively Properties with mpv commands for real-time customization.
